UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

DN Colleges Group is buying lift and escalator servicing and maintenance services for its education estate. The requirement covers planned preventative maintenance, routine servicing, reactive support, emergency breakdown response, repairs and, where authorised, refurbishment of lift, escalator and associated equipment. Lift services are required across Doncaster College, North Lindsey College and University Campus North Lincolnshire. Escalator services are required at Doncaster College. This is a services contract covering two separate areas: lifts and related equipment, and escalators and related equipment. Each area will be assessed and awarded independently, allowing a supplier to focus on the equipment and locations within its operational capability.

The procurement has reached tender: DN Colleges Group invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is divided into two lots, and suppliers may bid for one or both. The enquiry deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed through MultiQuote. Lot 1, lifts, is valued at £110,000 excluding VAT (£132,000 including VAT); Lot 2, escalators, at £15,000 excluding VAT (£18,000 including VAT). The overall estimate is £125,000 excluding VAT (£150,000 including VAT). Both contracts run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions to 31 October 2031. Evaluation is 40% price and 60% quality.

This opportunity suits experienced lift and escalator maintenance contractors able to provide both planned and responsive engineering support. Suppliers should be equipped to service assets routinely, attend reactive and emergency breakdowns, complete repairs and undertake refurbishment when authorised. The work requires the operational capacity to support college sites across Doncaster and North Lincolnshire for the lifts lot, and Doncaster for the escalators lot. Businesses with specialist capability in either lifts or escalators can target the relevant lot, while contractors covering both disciplines can bid for both. The buyer identifies both lots as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers may be well placed to compete.
